Questions about ventilation repairs and fault finding in the West Midlands
Is the survey free in the West Midlands?
This is a charged visit because it is servicing, testing or repair work. We tell you the cost before booking. Surveys for new installations on the UK mainland are free.
Can you repair any make?
We repair most common makes. If parts are unavailable we will tell you before the visit and suggest options.
Can you come out urgently?
We cannot promise an out-of-hours or same-week visit. We try to fit in failed kitchen extract and commercial plant first, so ask about the earliest available visit when you call.
Which rules apply to ventilation in the West Midlands?
In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
Which towns in the West Midlands do you cover?
All of the West Midlands, including Dudley, Walsall, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and West Bromwich. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.
